Concrete Driveways

New concrete driveways poured on a compacted base with the right thickness, reinforcement and joints to carry your vehicles for decades.

A driveway works harder than almost any other slab on your property. It carries the weight of cars, trucks and trailers, takes sun and freeze cycles, sheds water and is the first thing people see when they arrive at a Nashville home. A good one starts below the surface: a compacted gravel base, forms set to the right slope and enough thickness and reinforcement for the loads it will see. A driveway that skips those steps may look fine for a year and then crack, settle and stain.

We start with a site visit, measure the area and talk through how you use it. We plan the layout, the width, the slope away from the garage and the joints. After excavation and base work, we set forms, place steel, pour a mix chosen for strength and weather and finish the surface with a broom, a smooth trowel or a decorative pattern. Curing is managed carefully, and you receive clear instructions on when to walk, drive and seal.

Base and drainage first

Compacted stone and a gentle slope keep water moving away from the garage and out of the slab.

Thickness for the load

Four inches suits cars, and heavier trucks, RVs and delivery vehicles call for five or six inches with steel.

Joints placed on purpose

Control joints are cut where concrete wants to crack, so the slab moves where we plan it to.

Finish and cure

A non-slip broom finish, proper curing and a careful opening schedule protect the surface in its first weeks.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and schedule

    You tell us about your site and what you want, new concrete, a repair or a refresh, and we set a visit that fits your day.

  2. 02

    Visit and measure

    We walk the property, measure the area, check drainage, soil and access, look at any old concrete and take photos of anything of note.

  3. 03

    Plan and explain

    We explain your options for thickness, steel, finishes and colors, sketch the layout and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.

  4. 04

    Prepare the site

    We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house, lawn and landscaping, remove old concrete if needed and compact a stone base.

  5. 05

    Form and pour

    We set forms and steel, check heights and slopes, place and finish the concrete and cut joints, with the crew on site from the first truck to the last pass.

  6. 06

    Cure and care

    We protect the concrete as it cures, clean up the site, walk you through when to use it and seal it, and set a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Concrete Driveways FAQ

How thick should a concrete driveway be?

Four inches is common for cars. Five or six inches with steel suits heavy vehicles, RVs and trailers.

How long before I can drive on a new driveway?

Foot traffic after a day or two and cars after about a week, depending on the weather and the mix. We give you exact dates.

Do you remove the old driveway?

Yes. We break it out, haul it away and prepare the base for the new slab.

Can the driveway be colored or stamped?

Yes. Integral color, stains, stamped borders and exposed aggregate are all available.

How long does a driveway last?

A well-built concrete driveway often lasts for decades with good drainage and occasional sealing.
